E-scooters have taken off across the province, and have become a major form of transportation for many communities. With the primary use for e-scooters being to cover a walkable distance at a much faster speed, could we see them come to Strathmore in the near future?
Town of Strathmore's Chief Administrative Officer Kevin Scoble explained it's being considered, but there are many other factors to take in as well. Restructuring bylaws would be one aspect to consider, as well as the Town's overall transportation plans.
Part of the active transportation plan could include e-scooters, which Scoble says "Could provide an alternative means of transportation for residents," but would first have to look into how viable it is for the town and how it fits into the active transportation plan.
